Step 10 Return to the display mode

With the 'CAL' prompt displayed, press

E

 to store the conditioning and

calibration information and return to the
operating mode.  All the display
decimal points will be activated while
the information is being stored. This
completes the calibration of the
transmitter using the internal
references.

The following steps explain how, using the Trim
Menu, the BA374NC transmitter may be calibrated
against an external reference, such as a voltage
source or temperature calibrator. Alternatively, the
complete loop including the primary element may
be calibrated by cooling and heating the
thermocouple to -10 and +240

o

C.

Step 11 Entering the Trim Menu

Enter the Trim Menu by simultaneously
pressing the

 P

 and 

Down

 buttons - see

Fig 7. The transmitter will respond by
displaying 'COdE' .  Press 

P

 to clear

this prompt and set the display to the
security code 1209 using the 

Up

Down

and 

P

 push-buttons.  Pressing 

E

 will

enter the code.  After a few seconds
during which all the decimal points will
be activated, the first parameter 'ZEro'
will be displayed.

Step 12 Zero adjustment

This adjustment trims the display to
read exactly -10.0

o

C and the output

current to be exactly 4.000mA when the
type J  thermocouple is at  -10

o

C.  This

can be achieved by cooling the
thermocouple to  -10

o

C or by inputting

the voltage which the thermocouple
should theoretically produce.  If a
voltage is used the transmitter cold
junction compensation (see section
6.3.4) should be turned off during the
calibration, or the input voltage should
be corrected for ambient temperature,
although this may be less accurate.

With the transmitter displaying the
'ZEro' prompt and the correct input
connected to the transmitter, push 

P

which will cause the transmitter to
display the thermocouple temperature.
Adjust the display with the 

Up

 and

Down

 buttons until it is -10.0 

Note:  Immediately the 

Up

 or 

Down

button is operated the annunciator in
the top left hand corner of the display
will be activated to warn that any
change in the input signal will be
ignored while this display correction is
being made.  

Operating the  

 push-button will lock

the transmitter display at -10.0

 

and

allow the output current to be trimmed
using the 

Up

 or 

Down

 button.  When

the output current measured by a DVM
is 4.000mA, the 

E

 push-button should

be operated to return the transmitter to
the 'ZEro' prompt.
This completes calibration at -10.0

o

C.

Step 13 Span adjustment

With the transmitter displaying the
'ZEro' prompt select 'SPAn' by pressing
the 

Up

 or 

Down

 button.  With the

thermocouple heated to 240

o

C, or an

equivalent voltage input, push 

P

 which

will cause the transmitter to display the
thermocouple temperature. Adjust the
display with the 

Up

 and 

Down

 buttons

until it is 240.0   

Note:  Immediately the 

Up

 or 

Down

button is operated the annunciator in
the top left hand corner of the display
will be activated to warn that any
change in the input signal will be
ignored while this display correction is
being made.  

Operating the  

 push-button will lock

the transmitter display at 240.0

 

and

allow the output current to be trimmed
using the 

Up

 or 

Down

 button.  When

the output current measured by a DVM
is 20.000mA, the 

E

 push-button should

be operated to return the transmitter to
the 'SPAn' prompt.
This completes calibration at 240.0

o

C.

Pressing the 

push-button again will

return the transmitter to the display
mode.
